A Moth Infestation and a Trip to the Zoo, Banham, Norfolk - 21st May 2022

We decide to go to the zoo for a change, as we hadn't been for ages - a decision which is helped by the fact that the boys get in free thanks to their Blue Peter badges. After that, we stop off by the Lows between Diss and Palgrave, where the word on the street is that the hedges are infested with the caterpillars of a type of micro ermine moth, and as a result are completely covered in Halloween-style cobwebs.
